How to Make the Shatter Effect Travel Outside the Original Comp

Hey guys,
So I'm trying to shatter a jpg image that I imported into After Effects 5.5, all is going well with the look, but I'm having a problem.  The shatter has the pieces floating upward as intended, but the pieces are disappearing at the border of the image. It would appear the image itself bounds the effect so that pieces cannot float beyond into the remainder of the composition area.
Is there a way to make it so the pieces can float out beyond where the image is? Thanks in advace.

Is this the effect you're trying to achieve? 
If so, it was created by scaling down a red solid and pre-comping it using the following settings.
Then go back to your original composition and apply your shatter effect to the pre-comp.

  • How to make a shatter effect in cinema 4D

    Hi
    I'm trying to use the shatter effect in Cinema4d but in the lite version available through AE the collision and simulation tags are not available. So how one can use it without the simulation and collide tags  available?
    Claude

    Yes but how? I've a tutorial and in the process you have to use the simulation and collide tags which are not available unless there has been a problem while the installation of the program was done?
    The whole problem is that I have to break a building and I tried as you suggested the other day with Shatter to use a gradient but I must have used it wrongly because it did not work. This morning I found on Creative Cow a way to stop the pieces falling by setting with a key frame the gravity to 0 and viscosity to 1 but the result is rather artificial  as some of the pieces stop falling in mld air which is ridiculous. I tried then Cinema 4d following Sean Frangella tutorial and that's when I discovered that the essential commands were missing in the lite edition. I must say I find it a bit harsh to put a link to a software knowing that essentials commands will be absent.
    I'm not petroleum magnate to spend the price of any of Maxon's offers for the full product. I'm an amateur trying to have a kind of original editing of his videos.

  • How to add motion blur to the shatter effect?

    I am trying to add motion blur to the shatter effect, iv created my own custom shatter map with text that remains after the effect is complete, i have tried to add motion blur through the other blur effects and i have not found one that will do the motion blur correctly.
    what im wanting is for there to be motion blur on the pieces that are shattering, any suggestions?

    There are suggestions toward the bottom of this page, including a tip using the Timewarp effect. I found this by searching for 'motion blur'.

  • How to control the shatter effect in Aperture 3

    I am using Aperture 3 on an iMac, but have trouble trying to control the shatter effect in slideshow, I would like to be able to slow this down in order to see the effect in slow motion
    Can anybody help please?

    Nope, it's a default.  Some themes let you do it, not the Shatter theme.

  • Initiating an explosion with the Shatter effect

    Guys thanks again for all your help.  Now I am trying to create an explosion with a shatter effect.  Problem is when I apply the shatter effect to my Shape I created, it assumes I want the explosion to occur as soon as the video starts to play.  Actually I would like the explosion to occur a little later in the video, maybe about 25 frames into the video.  I can not find a setting to key frame the start of the explosion.  Is there a key frame for this and I am not seeing it?  I even tried moving the shape out in the timeline so it does not appear until about the 25 frame, but this does not work either.
    Thanks again
    Let me know

    Like I said previously "Problem is when I apply the shatter effect to my Shape I created, it assumes I want the explosion to occur as soon as the video starts to play."  This is not what I want.  I need a key frame to initiate the explosion about 25 frames into the clip.  The physics controls the location on the screen and the direction of the explosion, but to my knowledge it does not control the timing of the explosion.  I have viewed Lynda tutorials repeatedly.
    The tutorials make it look like it is possible to start an explosion later in the timeline but there is no explanation of how he did it.  It looks like the explosion should occur when the "Shape" occurs in the time line, but After Effects is not working that way for me.

  • How to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps using 4 fingers on iPad ?

    Hey guys,
    So how to make a rubber effect like when you swipe between apps (first or last app) using 4 fingers on iPad iOS7 ? Any examples ?
    Thanks!
    Ivan

    Please do not double post the same question.
    Just like I said before. Animate X scale and position. Set the anchor point of the left image to the left side. You can then use an expression or just generate keyframes for scale. When you flip to the next screen then animate position. Easy basic animation except for the bounce. Key framing the bounce so that it looks natural takes a lot of experience or an expression.
    Google bounce expression after effects and find this. http://www.motion-graphics-exchange.com/after-effects/Wiggle-rubber-bounce-throw-inertia-e xpressions/4ad0f32a944ad
    There are a bunch of other solutions.
    There is no single click solution to this problem and it is not an effect, it is an animation.

  • How to make a short clip out of the original one ?

    Some days ago, I asked a question on editing a clip in this forum. The responder asked me to provide a few seconds of the clip for his examination. But I got stuck. I didn't know how to make a clip of a few seconds out of the original clip and that it had the exact same format and properties as the original clip.
    Neither Premier nor After Effect have an ouput option such as "same as original source" .
    So, my question is how to make a short clip out of the original one with everything the same properties as the original one.
    Thanks in advance.

    May be I haven't made myself clear
    Sorry, but I think that I am still not following you.
    I want to export and render the short clip to a new file which I want to have everything the same as the original clip. Just like I cut off a few seconds off it and that few seconds becomes an independent file.
    OK, you have your original source file. It is complete and is also unaltered. If you want a "Copy" of it, just use Windows Explorer, or similar to make that Copy. If you want a separate file of your edited version of that source file (as it appears in the Timeline), use the WAB (Work Area Bar) to include just that edited instance of the source footage, and Export just the WAB. This will give you a separate file with the edits in it.
    I still feel that neither is what you want. If you can step me through, maybe with screen-caps, what you have and what you wish to end up with, I can see the operation more clearly.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • If I use Verizon Edge with Iphone 6, Can i just buy SIM when i travel outside the USA?

    Hi,
       I plan to switch to Verizon Egde with Iphone 6, but i just want to make sure if i can buy SIM to use with it when i travel outside the USA? Do i need to unlock the phone?
    thanks.

    i chatted with the rep, and i was told that unless iphone 6 paid off ( i was asking about Verizon Edge), the phone is Locked! And if i have to use it outside the USA, i have to call the the customer care..not sure what for.
    I just want a phone and put new SIM in to use. No more, no less. I think Verizon makes thing more complicated for the customers (i've been with Verizon since 2005).
    If thing is so complicated, i'd better look for another solution then.

  • How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

    In 10g, we can make a physical standby database in the read_only state. But in 11g, no a read_only state for a physical standby database. How to make a physical standby database in the read_only state in 11g?

    Hi
    read-only mode (for 11g physical standby)
    A mode in which a database can be opened that allows queries, but disallows modifications.
    A physical standby database can be opened read-only so that queries may be performed. If a license for the Oracle Active Data Guard option has been purchased, a physical satndby database can be open while redo apply is active. This capability is known as Real-time Query.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that fixes it.

    Ok, one of my problems is that when I arrive it will take me a few weeks to get a social security number and only t-mobile will give me a sim without a ssn - but edge for a few weeks will be better than no iPhone.
    Unless someone out there can suggest an alternative?
